Chapter 289: 286 Dragon Palace Secret Realm

Lu Wu looked at this overly familiar guy who had taken it upon himself to sling an arm over his shoulder and felt somewhat baffled.

It’s not like he didn’t recognize the person.

Lu Wu never forgot a face; he immediately recognized the guy as the one who had made an appearance when he was collecting the little goldfish.

Seemed to be from Jingcheng University, called Liu Cheng if he remembered correctly.

But what did he mean by calling him junior brother?

However, before Lu Wu could figure out what was meant by that, Liu Cheng had already dragged him away.

“Let’s go, my mentor wants to see you.”

“Your mentor is?”

“Liu Qingyuan!”

Well, that name made Lu Wu wince.

“Is it possible not to go?”

Liu Cheng laughed, “What do you think?”

Just like that.

He had just come out from Yuan Qingqing’s place and was now being dragged by Liu Cheng to Jingcheng University, riding in Lu Wu’s own RV.

The moment he got on the vehicle, Liu Cheng was completely stunned by Lu Wu’s car.

Just like a little brother who hadn’t seen much of the world, he started wandering around inside, touching this and bumping into that.

“Dang, junior bro, your car is something else!

It’s unassuming on the outside, luxurious on the interior, and its overall performance is pretty impressive. Hook me up with one too, will ya?”

“Sure thing, but you’ll have to pay a deposit first.”

“How much?”

“For the deposit, just give 500,000 points to start!

For the actual car construction, we’ll customize it according to your preferences. I’ll give you a discount, and it should only come to a few million points in total.”

“Sorry to have bothered you!”

Yeah, not everyone can casually fork out a few million to get a car like Lu Wu.

Even Liu Cheng didn’t have that kind of backing.

And as a Pure Summoner, he couldn’t even see what was so great about the car.

A few million even with a discount? Old Liu felt like the kid was trying to rip him off.

Lu Wu didn’t bother to explain the car’s situation.

More than the car, Lu Wu was more concerned about the woman he was about to meet.

He tried to glean some information about Liu Qingyuan without being too direct.

As soon as Lu Wu asked, Liu Cheng responded with a carefree attitude, “Oh, you mean my mentor? She’s the ex of your cheap master-father from my end!”

“That… might there be a misunderstanding…

My dad is…”

“Don’t talk about misunderstandings, and don’t try to explain.

When your little goldfish led us to you, my teacher already knew who you are. That fish, to tell you the truth, was something your thrift-master-father nabbed from my mentor’s hands.”

Hearing this, Lu Wu’s expression darkened even more.

He had previously thought that his status as Lu Haikong’s son was quite a well-kept secret.

After all, except for Yan Ruxue, it seemed like no one else was coming out of the woodwork to do anything to him, and his last visit to Beijing had been quite peaceful. So why was it that now, everyone was seeking him out?

Could he even attend Jingcheng University anymore?

“Or maybe, I just won’t go…”

“Don’t panic, my mentor probably isn’t planning to do anything to you. She just wants to give you some gifts, just like Master Yuan did.”

“Gifts?”

Lu Wu was taken aback, about to say that Yuan Qingqing hadn’t given him any gifts.

But right then, an indescribable pain surged through him, making Lu Wu feel as if every pore on his body was being pricked with needles, an unbearable pain.

Under this excruciating pain, Lu Wu instinctively tried to sever the “Damage Sharing” with Han Han.

Thankfully, at that moment, the “Unyielding” skill activated and Lu Wu managed to regain some composure.

“What is that woman doing? Torturing Han Han for fun?”

But upon further thought, Lu Wu didn’t think that was it.

They probably didn’t have the time for such pettiness. Recalling his previous conversation with Yuan Qingqing and what Liu Cheng said about the gifts, Lu Wu had a rough guess.

Probably Yuan Qingqing was in the process of enhancing Han Han.

Now, Lu Wu was utterly confused.

What was going on?

This sort of favor to an ex’s son, Lu Wu admitted he didn’t get it.

After hesitating for a bit, Lu Wu still decided to bear with the pain and tactfully called Yuan Qingqing to express his wish to bring Han Han back.

Lu Wu could guess that the other side might have good intentions.

But he truly feared Han Han couldn’t keep up with the nutrition.

“Come and get him in three days!”

Yuan Qingqing on the other end didn’t agree to let Lu Wu take Han Han away, uttering just that sentence before hanging up the phone.

After the call ended, Yuan Qingqing’s eyes were fixed on Han Han who was soaked in a special container in front of her.

Based on Han Han’s reaction, she kept injecting various extremely expensive liquids into the container.

At the same time, her eyes were glued to the various data on the machine beside her.

Making sure the experiment had no accidents to the greatest extent.

…

Meanwhile, Lu Wu, upon being hung up on, was particularly troubled.

At the end of the day, should he go and bring Han Han back? If he went, would they actually let him take Han Han?

At this moment, Liu Cheng beside him spoke up.

“Stop worrying about it, just let them do their thing.

If they want to give you gifts, they have their reasons. It’s a kind gesture, and it might turn to malice if you don’t accept it, so just enjoy it.

Oh, and by the way, when you meet my mentor later, she’s likely to give you a bonus, so it’s probably best if you don’t reject it.”

Lu Wu just shook his head.

He couldn’t grasp these women’s logic.

Hesitating for a moment, Lu Wu eventually turned off “Damage Sharing”.

On the one hand, Lu Wu’s body couldn’t withstand such torment.

Although his body was indeed strengthening and his power was improving, his nutrition couldn’t keep up.

Besides, even if the nutrition could keep up, Lu Wu would still have to cut it off.

Because that kind of pain had already severely disrupted his daily life.

Once “Damage Sharing” was turned off, Lu Wu instantly felt much more relaxed, and he tossed aside the concerns about Han.

Let them do whatever they wanted, as long as they didn’t kill Han.

As for the pain? Lu Wu figured that guy was probably enjoying it.

Not long after Lu Wu turned off “Damage Sharing”, they arrived at Jingcheng University.

Curious about Hua District’s top university, it’s a pity that he didn’t have time to visit.

Liu Cheng directly asked Li Kai to drive to the research laboratory beneath Liu Qingyuan, and after they reached the destination, Liu Cheng told Lu Wu to send off Li Kai and Dudu.

“I reckon you’ll have to stay at Jingcheng University for quite a while, so better have them wait for you at the arena first.”

Lu Wu didn’t hesitate and nodded immediately.

He had Li Kai and the others go to the venue first, and then he himself walked into the research institute of Liu Qingyuan.

Yes, just him alone.

Liu Cheng had ran off before he even brought him here.

He planned to hide for a couple of days, because he felt that the coming days in Beijing might not be peaceful, especially for him, a cheap apprentice of Lu Haikong.

With his experience, it was better to flee as far as possible from such a chaotic scene.

As for Lu Wu.

He had no choice but to pray for his safety.

On Lu Wu’s side, just as he entered the research laboratory, he ran into Liu Qingyuan head on. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

“Xiao Lu, you’re finally here. Come, come, let your Aunt Liu take a good look at you!

The last time you came to Beijing, Aunt Liu wanted to see you, but since you were unclear about the situation then, it wouldn’t have been right for me to meet you rashly.

Now, at last, we’ll be able to meet.”

Compared to Yuan Qingqing, Liu Qingyuan was much more enthusiastic.

She took Lu Wu’s hand and led him into the visitor’s lounge of the research laboratory, then sat him down and looked him over satisfactorily before nodding contentedly.

“Handsome indeed, a true child of theirs.”

This remark made Lu Wu startled.

Because there was something in Liu Qingyuan’s words.

“Do you know my mother?”

“Uh, I can’t say I know her entirely, but I am acquainted with half of her.”

This answer might be confusing to others, but Lu Wu understood instantly: “Which half do you know? The body or the soul?”

As soon as Lu Wu spoke, the corners of Liu Qingyuan’s mouth lifted.

“It seems you know much more than I expected!”

Lu Wu also snapped back to reality, feeling something was off; he realized he might have been led into talking by this woman in front of him, and his brow furrowed slightly.

The result was just this minute expression, and Liu Qingyuan across from him laughed.

“Quick reaction, much better than your dad. Back then he foolishly spilled everything before realizing he’d been tricked into talking.”

What a terrifying woman.

Lu Wu clearly understood that the other party had noticed his subtle emotional change.

Such a small move and she could detect it.

Lu Wu couldn’t comprehend how a woman like this had been tricked by the old man of the Lu family back in the day.

At this time, Liu Qingyuan across from him sighed, “Love is incomprehensible, isn’t it said that a woman in love has basically zero IQ?”

“Can you read minds?”

Lu Wu asked, breaking into a cold sweat.

Liu Qingyuan teased, “Yeah, so you better not harbor any bad thoughts in front of Aunt Liu.”

Lu Wu quickly sat up straight and silently recited the Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces in his mind.

Seeing Lu Wu like this, Liu Qingyuan couldn’t help but let out a light laugh: “Alright, I’m just teasing you. I can’t read minds at all.”

Lu Wu let out a sigh of relief.

But Liu Qingyuan continued, “I can only infer your general thoughts through your subtle facial expressions, that’s all.”

Uh, Lu Wu’s face changed and he sat up straight again, continuing his internal recital of the Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces.

“Are you that nervous? Seems like you do have many secrets you don’t want revealed?

Let me guess, are you like your father, secretly deceiving other girls?”

Lu Wu immediately raised his hand to pledge his loyalty, “No, no, no! I’m not the same as Old Lu from our family.

I am the most faithful man of the Lu family. In my life, I will marry only Dudu.”

“As far from what I know, your father has said the same to no less than 30 women.”

Lu Wu had no choice but to keep reciting his Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces.

Seeing his reaction, Liu Qingyuan didn’t tease him further.

“Alright, stop it now. The little goldfish, you’re keeping it inside, right? Call it out for me to see!”

Lu Wu was stunned.

He felt that the women in Beijing were all quite peculiar, one demanded his bird, and now this one wanted to see his little goldfish.

Lu Wu was reluctant.

After all, birds and fish are things not to be casually shown to others.

But in the end, Lu Wu compromised, and obediently summoned the little goldfish from his heart.

The moment the little goldfish appeared, Liu Qingyuan took it over, cradling the bewildered little creature and began to examine it thoroughly.

“Not bad, well-cared-for, plump and white, good enough for a plate of sashimi.”

Lu Wu was puzzled; what kind of evaluation was that?

At this moment, Liu Qingyuan pulled out a token and casually tossed it to Lu Wu.

Since Liu Cheng had mentioned it before, Lu Wu was somewhat prepared for Liu Qingyuan providing benefits.

Originally, Lu Wu was pondering whether to refuse, but then Liu Qingyuan spoke again.

“This is the key to the ‘Dragon Palace Secret Realm’ of Jingcheng University. There’s a Dragon Gate inside the ‘Dragon Palace Secret Realm’. Take it and try your luck jumping through it.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Wu’s grip on the token tightened.
